Take the spring shoot on the strong mother plant, the autumn shoot as cuttings, remove leaf thorns, leave 3-4 buds, about 13 cm long, obliquely inserted into the sandy soil 2/3, often keep moist, 1 month action can take root, 2 months after germination can be planted separately. Grafting is usually carried out in the rainy season by relying on grafting and cutting abdomen. High-pressure strips are generally carried out from June to August, select exuberant branches with high pressure, cut the cortex with a knife about 3 cm long, or annular peeling about 1 cm, with soil bag, wrapped with plastic film, often watered and moisturized, about 1 month can be root, about 2 months later can be cut and transplanting.

After fruit harvest, in order to restore the tree potential, promote flower bud differentiation, and be beneficial to blossom and fruiting in the coming year, it should be combined with watering. In the period of high temperature and hot summer, in addition to watering in the morning and evening, it is also necessary to spray water on and around the leaves. After entering autumn, the response to watering should be reduced. Just keep the soil moist in winter.

The summer bergamot flower multiplication fruit stilbene, needs the fertilizer quantity to be big, the fat degree should be thickened. In early autumn, phosphorus, potassium and calcium compound fertilizer should be applied, which is beneficial to improve the fruit setting rate. After picking the fruit, we should apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in time to supplement nutrition to the plant in order to restore growth and lay a good foundation for flowering and fruiting in the second year.

In the peak period of flowers and fruits, sprouting usually begins in March and pruning after fruit harvest in autumn and winter. Pruning and shaping was carried out after fruit picking and before sprouting in March, cutting off cross branches, withered branches, diseased branches and long branches. Short branches should be kept as far as possible, because many of them are fruiting mother branches, and the rest of the summer shoots should be cut off except for individual needs to expand the crown.
